We used to call them *Blakey's*. There were metal ones which made a fab
noise and if you skidded down the road, sparks flew out the back of your
heels !! We also had black rubber ones, which parents & teachers
preferred. Can't imagine why !!!

I know my shoes all hat "Segs" on - bits of metal my father tacked onto
the
toes & heels of my shoes ... I still have a 'card' of them somewhere ....
They were lovely & "noisy" and you could "slide" down the pavement & in
the
playground ...

*****
Boots and shoes are advertised in Cincinnati, with iron soles, which can
be
put on and taken off at pleasure. They are very light, and at the same
time
beautiful and durable.
